    Hey, OP, this “transgenic vs transgender” thing actually is disinformation. The White House (ignore the Trump-brand petulant diaper baby bullshit) has presented easily verifiable receipts. They’re:

    1. Correct about the level of funding (easily audited per page).
    2. Correct that each of these was related heavily or wholly to the ways exogenous sex hormones affect mice.
    3. Completely, utterly wrong for treating them as superfluous. Even if you don’t believe trans people deserve medical study for their own health (which is nonsense), and even if you seriously believe $8 million is anything more than a drop in the bucket for the US federal government (we’re talking an actual millionth of the annual budget spread across several years), studies such as the $1.2 million one on androgens’ effect on female reproductive health can objectively help non-trans people such as people with PCOS. It’s good even if you’re a disgusting bigot.

    Then cream of wheat, broth, and mashed potatoes shall you eat. Did your surgeon say if you’ll be able to use sauces and spices? If so, a little tiny bit of olive oil followed by some garlic powder and maybe a drizzle of BBQ sauce in the mashed potatoes makes them to down a lot easier (gravy likewise if that’s allowed). Heavy whipping cream in vegetable or chicken broth along with some miscellaneous spices like Italian seasoning, garlic and onion powder, pepper, etc. will surely make it less healthy but could make it a bit tastier. Cream of wheat can have some pumpkin spice in it and maybe a drizzle of maple syrup (the real stuff).

    That being said, do absolutely none of what I’ve just said unless your oral surgeon advises you that you can. I would check any notes the surgeon might’ve given you and call their office to see if maybe this is something the receptionist would know. If not and you’re not able to communicate with the surgeon directly, then be conservative: this is your health. If anything, you can rationalize it as a way to get even more out of food once your new implants are here!

    Like other commenters have suggested too, if you call their offices, I would ask about meal replacement shakes. The plant-based ones I drink on occasion have 32g of protein, and they have a good flavor and texture and make me feel full for a pretty long while.
